A program manager for a new global e-commerce platform is facing pressure from the steering committee, who are concerned that rapid feature delivery is compromising product quality. Customer feedback from pilot projects reveals numerous bugs. To demonstrate the program's commitment to improving product stability and responsiveness to customer issues, which KPI is most appropriate for the program manager to prioritize in their reports to the committee?
The correct answer is 'Rate of defect resolution'. This KPI directly measures the team's efficiency and effectiveness in addressing the known bugs that are concerning stakeholders. Prioritizing this metric in reports demonstrates a direct response to the specific quality issues raised. While 'Defect escape rate' and 'Customer satisfaction (CSAT) score variance' are valuable quality metrics, they are more lagging or broader indicators. 'Number of test cases executed' measures testing activity, not the actual quality outcome or the effectiveness of the response to defects.
